Hi,
Working on automating trains with Dispatcher and am getting an error regarding a particular turnout:

2018-08-28 20:33:53,534 jmri.Section????????????????????????? ERROR - Unexpected error in getDirectionStandardTurnout when working with turnout NT14 [AWT-EventQueue-0]
2018-08-28 20:33:53,534 jmri.Section????????????????????????? ERROR - Unexpected error in getDirectionStandardTurnout when working with turnout NT14 [AWT-EventQueue-0]

Signals appear to be working as expected (but it has been quite a challenge to get this far). I am using the SSL type signaling. The turnout in question is "inside" a block, not sure if that is an issue. All blocks are contiguous. Another part of the same panel worked ok with Dispatcher so this seems localized.
Running:
JMRI 4.12
Linux Ubuntu 16.04
NCE

I have read the online help and searched the user messages (very helpful to get me this far btw) but could not find this problem.

Panel is in problem area folder: 'Allen House SSL Dispacter signal issue'

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

Allen

Allen,

The first thing that needs to be fixed are the Section direction sensors. You are currently using the neighboring block's occupancy sensors. The Section direction sensors are Internal sensors for the exclusive use of Dispatcher. I recommend names that are based on the section name such as sect_OL_8_Fwd and sect_OL_8_Rev.

If there are still issues, upload the updated panel xml file and the custom icons.

Dave,
More errors now:

The same two plus 8 new ones.
I'll upload this panel to the same directory.

Allen

I tried to upload the custom icon set to the files area but received an error that images could not be put there. Alternate?

Allen

Allen,

Disclaimer: I am not a SSL expert, what follows is my understanding.

The additional errors appear to be caused by SSL definitions that don’t make sense. If you look at the SSL for 3R, part of it is protecting Block 3 and Block 4. Since Block 4 is beyond the protected signals, it does not need to be included.

Dispatcher is trying to add a direction sensor to the SSL. Since this is a “facing point” SSL, there are only two sensor slots. By including Block 4, there are no slots available for the direction sensor. This appears to apply to all 8 new errors.


Dave Sand

Ok, I'll look at that logic. Do you think correcting that will also affect the NT14 issue?
Thanks,?
Allen

Allen,

It might fix the NT14 issue, but I doubt it. The other problems do get in the way of debugging what is happening with NT14. It is possible that the NT14 issue is caused by a series of unreported errors or configuration issues.


Dave Sand

ok, fixed SSL logic issues and the 8 extraneous errors are gone. Original 2 on NT14 remain.
Panel icons loaded along with updated panel.

Allen

Allen,

Dave,
Thanks for the analysis. I'm out of town this weekend and will duplicate your process when I return. I have to admit that during the learning sequence it has been difficult to keep the layering of elements straight. I recall I was not clear that the small spur tracks needed blocks. The number of virtual signals required was also surprising.?
For the SSL definitions, is there a reference to help me get the logic right? I think I need to step back a bit.
Allen?

Dave,
I tried deleting the transit and sections near NT14, recreating them, and I still get the same error. Your quick fix must be more than that?
I also uploaded more images/icons that appear to be necessary for all my panels. I have created them over a long period of time and did not know all the images would be needed to rebuild it. Hopefully that will allow a complete fix.

Allen

Allen,

I have uploaded a fixed file to your folder.

/g/jmriusers/files/ProblemsBeingWorkedOn/Allen%20House%20SSL%20Dispacter%20signal%20issue/Mtn_RR_215%20fix.xml

That should take care of the NT14 problem.
